Chapter 576 Three Sections Seventy Tens

   "Is Supersonic trying to court death? Are they crazy, do they want to hang themselves on the pillar of shame in history?" Buckley said in surprise.

"That's right, it's not good to admit defeat early and go into garbage time and let Old K sit on the bench? Does Peyton still want to win? Do you really want Old K to cut a hundred points on his head?" Kenny Smith immediately added Harmony.

   "This guy is so stupid, he deserves to not win the championship." Barkley laughed until his eyes were lost.

   "Yes, I offended old K, and I won't have the chance to hug my thighs in the future." Kenny Smith said with a smile.

   Pointing to Ewing on the screen, Barkley said with a smile: "Look at King Kong, with a happy face, old K is in such a state, he should be looking forward to winning the championship this season, right?"

   "It's possible, people still have to have dreams, or they'll be salted fish."

Speaking of this, Kenny Smith changed the subject and said: "But to be honest, the Suns' lineup is not good at defense, and the No. 1 Nash has no defense. If you enter the playoffs and meet the Lakers, if it is Kobe Bryant's defense He, the Suns shouldn't get past that."

  Barkley also nodded and said: "Even if you pass the Lakers and make it to the finals, you won't be able to pass the level of Kidd. The Nets are definitely very strong."

Speaking of which, he was also a little helpless: "Both Kobe and Kidd were once Old K's younger brothers, and Kobe was even an apprentice trained by Old K. Unexpectedly, they have now become the stumbling block on the road of Old K's comeback and winning the championship. I am afraid Old K didn't think of it before, did he?"

  Kenny Smith smiled and said, "Not only the two of them, isn't Yao also trained by Old K?"

   This season begins.

  Pharaoh came on stage, and under the continuous attack, the Supersonics had no choice but to adopt an early double-team tactic, emptied the other person, and then hoped that Nash would be locked by the old Payton.

   But this tactic was immediately cracked by Pharaoh.

He is not a 150-60kg O'Neal, a big shark of that tonnage. His mobility has been reduced and his physical fitness is not as good as when he was 135 kilograms. Although his physical fitness has dropped, it is still as high as level 100. His movement speed and physical fitness are as high as level 100. It is enough to ensure that he can get rid of the early double team by constantly moving. The meat shield can't keep up with him at all, and the power forward can't keep up with him. He can even pull out to catch the ball, so under the early double team, he still Can keep getting the ball.

   However, instead of blindly attacking the basket, he increased mid-range and close-range attacks, and the efficiency was somewhat reduced, but the speed of physical energy consumption also decreased at the same time.

   In the third minute, Payton held the ball at the top of the arc, swayed Nash with a fake, and made a three-point jumper.

When Old Wang saw Nash swaying, he knew something was wrong. He immediately started from below the free throw line and rushed up quickly. After a cushion, he rose into the air and flew two meters in the air. The defensive height was completely blocked below three meters seven. All space.

"Snapped!"

Under   's big hand, a savage volleyball cap on the three-point line made Peyton's face pale, and he didn't recover for a long time.

   After another ten minutes in the second quarter, he came off again.

   In these ten minutes, he still shot frantically, made 7 of 10 shots, completed four dunks, made 3 of 4 free throws, scored 17 points, and scored 42 points at halftime.

   The offensive end exploded wildly, and the defensive end also exploded, sending 3 big blocks and 1 steal in the second quarter.

   Under his leadership, at 65:50, the Suns had a 15-point halftime lead.

   Just half the game, his performance has completely let those who underestimate him have no such thoughts.

   Countless media threw away the prepared press release and began to re-edit new manuscripts.

   When returning to the locker room, Pharaoh was surrounded by a large number of media, but he did not give an interview. He made too many shots in the first half and was very tired.

When    entered the player tunnel, he bumped into Payton, and he asked casually, "Gloves, do you think I can score 50+ tonight?"

   Peyton was so angry that he vomited blood, and he scored 42 points. What are you asking?

"Ugh!"

  Los Angeles, Jerry Bass sighed, he missed his chance again.

   Now he is extremely regretful that he agreed to the management's suggestion last year and retired the old K's jersey. If he does not retire the jersey, perhaps there is more room for manoeuvre between the Lakers and the old K.

  Like Buss, Jerry West also knows that he has missed the opportunity again. If Old K will immediately send a super contract when he comes back, Old K and Kobe will join forces. With the Lakers' lineup, it will definitely be another dynasty immediately.

   But Kobe's current thinking is completely different from before.

   At this time, he fell on the sofa and stared at the old K in the TV. The expression on his face did not fluctuate, but in his mind, there were waves.

   "Old K, you're right, we can't play together anymore, by your side, there's no room for me at all, we can never play together again."

After Pharaoh retired in 2001, Kobe took over the Lakers and became the absolute team leader. Without Pharaoh's usual suppression, his ambitions are like a burning fire, and the roaring fire cannot be stopped. He is no longer the Kobe of the past. .

  The current Kobe holds four championships. He does not lack championships, but he lacks championships led by his own team. He has to prove himself. Without old K, he can also win championships.

   Before, he wanted Old K to return to the Lakers because he thought that Old K had been abolished and that Old K would not affect his status in the Lakers. He wanted to bring Old K to win the championship together.

But now, the old K has not been abandoned, with 42 points in the half, he is still very violent, and his offensive ability is even more terrifying. There was no mid-range attack in the past, and now the old K's hook has been extended to the mid-two point area. Such an old K, if Back to the Lakers, the Lakers will definitely change hands in an instant and become the old K's team again, and this is something he can't accept now.

  It's easy to go up and down, it's hard to come down. He has been the boss for a year, and he wants to be the boss for the rest of his life. Old K can't take his position.

   So at this time, Kobe's thoughts were completely different from those of Bass and West. He was glad that Old K didn't return to the Lakers.

   Far in the east, New Jersey, in the private room of a bar, Dayao was watching football with Kidd.

   They made an appointment to watch the old K's comeback battle specially.

   Kidd was a little silent at this time, while Dayao was beaming.

   "Yao, aren't you worried about meeting Old K in the finals? Can you block Old K's sideways fight?" Kidd asked worriedly when he saw Dayao's excited look on his face.

He is not short of the finals now. He won a ring with old K. Now he has become an All-Star as he wished, and has even become a superstar of the league. Now he is actually the same as Kobe, hoping to win the championship as the core .

   Dayao said with a smile: "Brother Tiejun is so fierce, he broke his opponent's bones just after his comeback. The alliance will definitely restart the K-law. I don't think I will face such a ferocious sideways fight from him in the future."

   He still didn't say a word, even if the alliance does not restart K-law, Brother Tiejun will definitely not break his bones.

Kidd also thinks about it. The league itself is pushing the four major shooting guards. Anyone with eyes can see that the league has some old K who are suppressing the comeback. Now that the old K is playing such a ferocious sideways attack, the league should indeed restart. K-law.

   But he was still worried and said: "Old K scored 42 points at halftime, Yao, do you think we can win the Suns?"

"this?"

Dayao frowned and analyzed: "Brother Tie Jun shot 20 times in half court, and if he was fouled, he took the ball at least 30 times. If they really meet in the finals, it should be impossible for him in the series. It's crazy to fight like this every game, no matter how strong you are, you can't fight, right?"

   "That's not necessarily the case. Old K is the most terrifying physical monster in the league, and it is completely comparable to Chamberlain." Kidd said.

   Dayao scratched his head and shook his head again: "During the offseason, I went to Brother Tiejun's house and stayed for a few days. His physical fitness is not as strong as before."

   "He told you?" Kidd asked quickly.

   "Yeah." Dayao nodded.

   Kidd breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, if his physical fitness can really support fifty or sixty shots in a game, with his efficiency, who can beat him?"

   "A game can barely make a lot of shots, a series is absolutely impossible. After the regular season, there is not much physical reserve, so the game can be used up quickly. This is what he told me."

Dayao shook his head, explained and then said: "The reason why Brother Tiejun broke out tonight is because this is his comeback battle, the league and the media are not optimistic about his comeback, he wants to prove them wrong. "

   Kidd nodded and put his heart in his stomach.

  …

  Key Arena, the home team's locker room, the Sonics are discussing a question, whether to continue to fight with the old K in the second half.

At the TNT commentary booth, Barkley laughed: "The SuperSonics are unlucky, they encountered the comeback battle of the old K in the first game, and the old K is going crazy tonight. +80+."

   "Let's see if the Sonics don't give up in the second half," said Kenny Smith.

   Soon after, the second half started.

   "A 15-point gap, should the Sonics give up?" Barkley asked loudly.

   "Oh, no, the Supersonics still sent the main force, is this to help Old K hit a high score?" Kenny Smith said in surprise.

In the CCTV commentary, Su Qun was also surprised and said: "Supersonic is a real iron man, old K's comeback battle, the first man's comeback battle in history, you can play whatever you want, let old K get good data. All right, what did you just do?"

   "Peyton is also a superstar. He debuted before the Iron Army. When the Iron Army entered the alliance, he was a superstar. He must be unwilling to be a stepping stone for the Iron Army's comeback battle." Zhang Reasonably analyzed.

   He was right. It was because of Payton's unwillingness that he did not agree to give up, so the Sonics decided not to give up the game.

Payton believes that Old K's physical fitness in the second half is definitely not as good as in the first half, and he won't shoot like crazy in the first half, but he can lock up Nash, thus strangling the Suns' offense, and the Supersonics are actually in a good state today. He made multiple 3-pointers, so he wasn't willing to give up the game.

   As a super-giant, and a veteran super-giant more senior than the old K, he cannot be willing to be the stepping stone for the old K's comeback battle.

   "If you don't give up, you will be crushed."

   On the sidelines, in front of the Suns bench, Pharaoh glanced at the Supersonics and said to Nash and others, "Hold the ball to me later, and return to Phoenix tomorrow. I will treat you to the K-era club."

   "Oh hoo!"

  The Suns players roared excitedly.

   "OK." Nash nodded immediately.

   "Boss, I want chicken." Stoudemire shouted immediately.

   "What do you want to eat?" Lao Wang smiled.

  Ewing murmured, "I want to eat that beauty herbal meal."

   Old Wang said in surprise: "King Kong, you actually want to beautify? God, Guanyin Bodhisattva, even if you soak in there every day, I guess it's useless. Your old face is completely useless."

   "Haha..." Everyone burst into laughter instantly.

  Ewing's old face was as black as charcoal, he glared at Pharaoh, turned around and silently returned to the bench and sat down.

More than 20 minutes later, with the last 30 seconds left in the third quarter, the SuperSonics were desperate, and so was Payton, because at this time, Old K was still tossing them on the court, the SuperSonics were already 30 points behind, and the third The quarter lost another 15 points.

Pharaoh made another frantic shot, and after a break at halftime, he recovered some of his physical fitness and attacked the basket again. In the first three minutes, he made as many as 5 shots, scored 11 points in a row with penalty shots, and injured the third one. The supersonic's inside line completely destroyed the supersonic's psychology, forcing the supersonic to start to double-team him in advance.

   But it couldn't stop his offense. After that, he continued to ask for the ball and continued to attack frantically. There were only three left in the Supersonic interior line, including the power forward. He was completely unable to stop his madness, so he could only use hacking tactics.

He made 45% of his shots in the first half, but actually accounted for 55% of the team in the third quarter, making 10 of 14 shots, a 71.4% hit rate, and 8 of 10 free throws. The quarter is not over yet. , has scored 28 points, and has scored 70 points in three quarters.

  70 points, which is also his career high in a single game in the regular season.

   With the last 30 seconds left, the SuperSonics coach couldn’t wait any longer. He replaced all the main players at once, without asking Payton’s opinion, and directly announced that he would give up the game.

   In fact, Payton's fighting spirit and morale had long been wiped out by the old K. When he was replaced, he didn't say anything. After sitting on the bench, he put a towel over his head.

  Barkley said with a smile: "Why is this so hard? You should have given up at halftime, and now let Old K score 70 points in three quarters, what's the trouble?

  我看手套就是欠揍，我兄弟贵为联盟历史第一人，复出之战一点面子都不给，现在好了吧？ Got beat up?

  Gloves, if you have the seeds, keep going. Old K might score 31 points in the final quarter, breaking Chamberlain's record of 100%. "

  Kenny Smith laughed happily and said, "It's really possible, but I guess Peyton has collapsed, and he can't pull it up with three Mexican donkeys, haha!"

  Buckley said impulsively: "If he dares to come up, I'll kiss the butts of those three Mexican donkeys."

  Kenny Smith was stunned, and suddenly laughed: "Then I have to expect Gary Payton to be hard-hearted."

But Barkley didn't have a chance to kiss the donkey's butt. Because all the main players were replaced from the Supersonics, everyone knew that the game was over. Old K made a successful comeback and completed his comeback in the most violent manner. From now on, this The alliance will still be the era of the old K's behemoth K.

All the teams that are aspiring to win the championship feel that a shadow is cast over their heads, because a giant beast once again overtakes their heads and covers their sky. If they want to win the championship, they can only overturn that head Behemoths, but can they do it?

   Before the game was over, David Stern received a call from the owner of the Sonics, asking the league to restart K-law immediately, and then received a call from almost all team owners, still the same purpose.

Kobe, Duncan, O'Neal, Garnett, Iverson, Kidd and other superstars now fully understand one thing. In front of them, there is a giant beast, a public enemy of the alliance. If they want to prove themselves, Or if you want to win the championship, you must overturn the beast.

Especially the Western superstars, if they don't overturn the old K, they may not even have the possibility of breaking out of the Western Conference. Just like David Robinson, he was suppressed by the old K in his prime, and he did not even touch the floor of the finals. , ran to the east, was suppressed by Jordan and O'Neal again, and was devastated for a lifetime, and now I can only hug Kobe and O'Neal's thighs.

   Even O'Neal was tied to Jordan, and it took four years to win the championship when K was seriously injured, or he might be crushed for the rest of his life.

  The game ended, with 130:85 points, the Suns won by 45 points.

   As soon as the game was over, Pharaoh, who had been sitting on the bench for a period, was surrounded by a swarm of media reporters. The media couldn’t wait for the press conference in an hour, and they wanted to interview him now.
